The entrance to this dungeon is close to the center of the city; you may either follow the central bridge from the upper level and take the first teleporter down, or water-walk to the back of the entrance northwest of the pleasure boats you're sent to burn for the world quest. I recommend the former, as you can easily bypass the guards from the Sanctum of Order and avoid the Masquerade-breaking elite demons that path around the dungeon entrance.

As of 7.1, the teleporter to Astravar Harbor is the fastest method of traveling to the Court of Stars entrance once you've unlocked it, since you just need to go northwest up the bridge and take the first teleporter down.

Court of Stars entrance is in Suramar 50.7, 65.5. It is down the elevator. Was kinda hard to find for the first time.

Comment by jjanchan

The Arcway and Court of Stars are two dungeons that are unlocked midway through the main Suramar questline. They are unique when it comes to Legion dungeons, as they will be ONLY available on Mythic difficulty.

Because these dungeons will only be seen at level 110, they have unique loot - there are gear pieces with 2-piece set bonuses that you can obtain!Some more details:

There is 1 set for each armor class, as well as 2 other sets that can be equipped by any armor class.

Doing this dungeon live with my boyfriend and a few other guildies, we noticed during second boss there were buffs around the dungeon, that seem to only be used by certain classes/races/professions. Certain objects can be clicked and used, which gave an extra dialog to the object, along with a buff.

A Waterlogged Scroll - "Someone appears to have dropped a scroll in this fountain. the writing looks like it is blurred from the water." @ 54.32], 39.14. Usable by Shamans, Skinners, and Scribes, giving the buff Flowing Waters.

Starlight Rose Brew - "It's a barrel of Starlight Rose tea. It appears to have been aged such that the brew is sickeningly strong. Just the smell of it nearly causes you to retch. Clearly it has been left here for too long." @ 56.03, 42.33, Usable by Death Knights and Monks, Giving your party the buff Starlight Rose Brew.

Nightshade Refreshments - "It's a tray of treats. It looks like this tray in particular has been infused with some strange arcane magic. Eating random magically infused food might be bad for your system... you don't know if it is safe or not." - @ 57.06, 51.85, Usable by Pandaren, giving the party a 25% increase to their max health.

Discarded Junk - "It looks like a pile of old spare parts. What once was powered by arcane has clearly run out of energy. This junk appears to have been neglected for too long." @ 63.27, 48.98, A Hunter or Blacksmith can repair this, turning it into a trap, causing one of the Mini-bosses to run into it, instantly killing it.

Magical Lantern - "This magical lantern is different in some way. Almost as if it is leaking. You're sure someone will come along and fix it in due time." - Behind a pole near the Starlight Brew, Usable by Mages, Night Elves, Blood Elves, and Enchanters, giving your party the buff Arcane Infusion.

Wounded Nightborne Civilian - "This citizen appears to have been injured by fel magic... his fel seared wounds look to resist normal recovery." Healers are able to heal him, doing so, he will claim he's been "Touched by an outsider!", and calls over the bosses' patrol. All healers, Tailors and people with First Aid may aid him.

Umbral Bloom - "This glowing flower very distinctly stands out. It looks to have been meticulously cared for by someone with great horticultural skills. Probably best to leave this one to someone more in tune with nature." @ 50.92, 59.23 , Usable by Herbalists and Druids, giving your party the buff Umbral Spores.

Lifesized Nightborne Statue - "A realistic and ornate statue of a Suramar noble. It appears solid and very heavy." @ 51.18, 61.85, Usable by Jewelcrafters and Miners. On use, the statue will be destroyed, grabbing attention of the bosses' patrol.

Please leave in the comments if there is more, with the location, the possible dialog, along with the who can use it and location. It would be so helpful to get these known for the rest of the instance.

Hope this info provides useful.

Edit 9/17/16 - Thanks for all the extra information! It's such a big help!

Edit 25/11/16 - Found a few more things, along with something that is Race usable instead of profession or class. Thanks a ton for all the info.

Once you have it unlocked, you can use the Sanctum of Order Teleporter from Shal'Aran to get to the meeting stone (and entrance) of the Court of Stars dungeon.

Comment by Purgatorywolf

So far this is what I've observed. Chests appear to only spawn one at a time, and can have several places it could spawn, some of which are easily missed because they are far away from bosses, and most groups will not explore. I've also noticed that sometimes they won't spawn at all. I will come back to this post when I find another spot.

*I will also include spots people post on, and will confirm with co-ords when I find them, if they don't post any. So that the locations are all together.

I have personally experienced 2 chests spawning during the same run of his instance.

In the middle of a 'balcony' overlooking the canal, after Patrol Captain Gerdo. (40,35)

Behind a pillar at a "pavilion/balcony" like thing, off to the side/up steps from Talixae Flamewreath (58,80)

Inside an "apartment" to the north east before Talixae.(67,42)

One of the MANY MANY proofs that Blizzard has more idiots than good designers is the fact this dungeon is Mythic only. Therefore putting it out of the normal queueing system and forcing you to either find other guildees who need it at the same time or to try and form your own groups (or join other ones where idiots decline for god knows what reasons).

And as if that wasn't stupid enough, let's make a few Nightfallen gate quests that require you to go there.

Comment by Dehir

Worst dungeon in my taste. Annoying trash and bosses. Small area to move. And the final QQ what might be right guy in disguise

Comment by Sparrow371

I am pretty sure Arcway+Court of stars are available in HEROIC too. As far as I know.

Comment by Terrassen

It is no longer required to quest in Suramar in order to unlock Court of Stars, The Arcway or complete the attunement quests to gain entry to Return To Karazhan. They can now be entered as any other dungeon.

Comment by Socairnone

Other than the possibility of some items I no longer need now I have the gear score to participate does anyone know where on the scheme of things this pointlessly mythic dungeon fits. Is it part of a chain for something worthwhile perhaps. or is it simply a non starter for a crap reward?

Comment by CronoLink

I don't know if this is a bug or a secret easter egg but apparently you can access the dungeon from the self-rowing gondolas around the west part of Suramar. I was trying to use one to cross quickly to the other side, and the moment I landed on the boat I was ported immediately inside the dungeon.

Court of Stars

Even as Legion troops patrol the streets, casting a pall over the grand city of Suramar, the socialites of the Nightborne nobility continue to cling to custom and routine. On this clear night, the cry of revelers echoes through the chill air, as the largest mansion in the Noble District opens its doors for a grand gala. Rumor has it that Grand Magistrix Elisande herself may be making an appearance, in an effort to reassure several of her closest allies despite recent turmoil.

New to Patch 8.1 - This dungeon is very important for the Lost Cat Toy step of the Hivemind mount puzzle! Check out our Hivemind Mount Guide for Lady Chaton and details.

When running this dungeon in Mythic+, additional affixes will be present on the enemies in the dungeon, affecting the way they behave. The first affix is acquired at Keystone Level 4, the second at Keystone Level 7, and the third at Keystone Level 10. Full details on Keystones and Affixes can be found in the Mythic+ Guide.

The Court of Stars is full of items that players can interact with based upon race, profession choice, class, or even role. Some of these items provide the party with potent buffs, while others have a functional effect in the dungeon (like distracting an enemy.

The Court of Stars Dungeon Ability Guide will outline important role-based responsibilities and abilities for each of the bosses from the dungeon, as well as some tips on particularly threatening trash mobs.

The Court of Stars Mythic+ Route Guide will take you through the best route to complete the dungeon, give advice for bosses and provide tips and tricks for the entire instance.

Encounters

Patrol Captain Gerdo – Captain of the Duskwatch, Gerdo has devoted his life to keeping the peace within the walls of Suramar. Though he has a growing unease since the arrival of the Legion, he remains faithful and loyal to the leadership of Suramar. Elisande has safeguarded them for generations, and she knows what is best for the people of the city. Tonight, Gerdo's task is to ensure that only citizens with the proper credentials are able to enter a gathering of particular importance at the manor.

Talixae Flamewreath – A sadistic eredar sorcerer, even as she understands the importance of the nightborne to her master's plans, Talixae chafes at the indignity of standing guard over a building full of elves. Nevertheless, she and her lieutenants remain vigilant, and while they live, no intruders will disrupt the gathering.

Advisor Melandrus – First Blade of the Grand Magistrix, Melandrus rarely leaves Elisande's side. He has eschewed the magical arts, instead harnessing the power of the Nightwell to heighten his reflexes and his movements to inhuman levels.
